When you create a new channel/new device and configure it for Modbus TCP/IP, Is this a Modbus Client?? How do you create a Modbus Server? 

What steps are required for PTC partners to have access to Kepware+ for customer presentations / demos?

I am trying to connect to a remote OPCDA Server using Kepserverex. But when i try to import tags i can browse the tags but there will be an error coming."Failed to establish callback for device. Even if after that i import the tags the tag quality will be bad and tag value will not update. In the same system i am accesing the remote opcda server using other opcda client but it is working. Can anybody Help? 

Have a Micrologix 1400 on Ethernet controlling a Filter Bank. The PLC5/60 is on a DH+ network and connected to a DCS via Kepware v5.8.109. Looking to add control from the PLC5/60 to add controls to the Micrologix 1400. Is this possible?

We're trying to get our Kepware installation up-to-date on licensing...which it would seem like it is, but we still get the constant nag about "one or more features are time-limited."What am I missing?  Is there another license that we're still missing?Please see attached image.  Thanks! 

I'm using the trial version of Kepware on a local machine and I'm completely unable to connect to the OPC UA server from FactoryTalk View SE. I was able to connect to the GE PLCs I need to through the quick client, but haven't been able to communicate with anything in FactoryTalk at all. (FactoryTalk is also being hosted on the same computer) I've followed this tutorial from Rockwell directly to no avail:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUfF1X7muS4I've set Windows Inbound rule for port 49320.I tried changing the port to 4880 as the FactoryTalk manual shows that as the default port when one is not specified. From FactoryTalk Manual:Enter a custom network path or IP address to an OPC UA Server. The path must be in the format opc.tcp://hostname_or_ip:port/Path/To/Server where hostname_or_ip, port, and /Path/To/Server are replaced with the OPC UA Server settings. If no port is specified, the FactoryTalk Linx OPC UA Connector will attempt to connect to port 4880.The firewall on the

We currently are testing a remote OPC DA connection that brings in two tags into Kepware. From there, we add those tags into the IDF for Splunk. We are able to send information to Splunk from these OPC DA tags, but it only updates on changes when I ask to send the information to Splunk on every scan. Pictures below: I'm only receiving 12 events but there should be thousands of events if information is being set every scan.  We already have multiple Splunk connections set up that send information to Splunk on every scan. The devices on these connections are Omron FINS Ethernet devices, though. Here are the events for the omron devices:  This looks much better as we have ~30k events and I can see the differences in time stamps. I'm not sure if I'm setting up the OPC DA connection improperly which is causing this issue? I've tried to change the OPC DA from exception to polling and a couple other settings on Channel3 but that did not work either. Any ideas or

Please, is there any additional configuration or particularity besides CS384334 to establish OPC UA communication between KepServer6EX and FTView SE? When I use the KepServer EnterpriseV5.21 version the communication works, but with KepServer6EX it doesn't work. Thank you.  

After installation of windows patch KB5028623/KB5023788, Kepware is giving intermittent error. We trying refresh by re-importing tags and kepware starts showing good values.  

Hi, I have a situation with a connection:Im using Allen Bradley Suite to connect to some Micrologix 1100, they are on a service called dyndns.org, which allow to see plc remotely, the thing is that sometimes Dyndns change ip address, for example when the station lose power supply and then goes online again the station wont display online status, the Micrologix cant be seen again because this causes to change ip address, I create a solution with a script using cmd sending commands, for example sending pings to the device in dyndns.org and if the ip change send commands:net start KEPServerEXV6net stop KEPServerEXV6But the bad thing with this solution is that this causes a general reset in kepserver so all the stations go out temporally, my question is if theres a way to only reset one channel or tell to refresh IP address, Im also exploring options using Kepserver API service.Using Kepserver versión 6.6.362 (Because newer versión have issues resolving hostname) 

Hello to everyone,I use a KEPServerEX with the S7 Plus Ethernet connected with Ignition SCADA.I have a problem writing inside an array tag through a opc client. Every time I received this message: "bad_write not supported the server not does support writing the combination of value".I think that this message appears because clients are not enabled to write inside an array. Is there some setting to enable this functionality or the only way to write inside an array is by referencing the exact value? Thank you.   

Dear community,yet again I am troubling you with basic questions; unfortuntely the help document and the net search could not solve them.Currently I am trying to set up a simple subtraction with advanced tags:I subtract the current value minus the value from the memory tag into the derived tag  (I run the expression every 5 minutes)then I update the memory tag value to the current value tag using a link tag (every 5 min and 5 seconds)Sometimes my calculation works but other times the memory tag is updated before the derived tag is executed; the executed tag is sometimes 10 seconds late.Why is that? Can I set the order in which the tags are executed? I do not want to use a bigger time offset.I could use the data logger but it just doesn't seem right to me that it doesnt the execute the tags at their specific time.Thanks in advance.Kind regards,Kepware User

We have 2 kepware servers that needed online licensing. I was able to do online licensing for one of the servers but the other one failed with the error shown in the image below. I then did the offline licensing with success on this server, however, I need it to be online. I verified the server has internet and the credentials are correct. Can anyone help as to why one of our servers is rejecting the online setup?  

has anyone successfully connected to a brother C00 controller to gather data using Kepware?  

Hi, I am trying to set up an MQTT Client Agent but I cannot get it to recognize the server certificate.If I disable SSL on the server side and change the MQTT broker URL to "tcp" it connects without issue. I have checked this instruction:https://learningconnector.ptc.com/tutorial/1651056322726/manage-iot-gateway-certificates?source=search It seems to emphasize that you should put the certs in "Trusted Root Certification Authorities", we have our certs as "Intermediate Certification Authorities", could this be the issue?We use Thingworx Kepware Server 6.13.Thankful for any help./BR Martin Siverbäck

The system that's currently logging historical data doesn't know if the data is bad or not. Communication to the device it's getting their data from is good but that device may not be talking to all the other devices it's gathering data from.  When the device we are getting data from thinks the data is bad it just maxes the value and doesn't leave it as last known. They then have all of their reports, trends, graphs, remove the high values from those requested from the current database. Is there a way to have KEPServerEX mark the data with a bad quality code, when a certain value is read? So that the Ignition Tag Historian will know the sample should be excluded from data requests. 

Hey guys,we received a message on our server with Broken Binding.Has anyone here received this message before who can guide us to resolve it?CheersJhonathan Dias

Dear commmunity,how can I connect Kepware with an webservice which communicates over a XML SOAP protocol?Unfortunately the OPC XML-DA Client doesnt work.I have read that the ClientAce driver could communicate with this kind of connection; but it isn't available anymore. Is there an available alternative?Kind regards,Kepware User

- Our side is making field devices running OPC UA Client protocol, using SIM7600 module, connecting and receiving data via 4G to OPC UA Server running on a server with static IP and opening ports for devices to display. field connect to- The number of our field devices is about 4000 devices. Each field device runs independently. Each field device will write 150 data fields (tags) to the server- Currently, the OPC UA server that we are installing can only have 128 connections, I want to increase this number of connections, what is the solution? 

Hello Everyone, I am doing POC to integrate the Modbus TCP device data to IOT platform.Here my challenge was IOT platform not accepting the tag name with "dot" delimiter in Json payload. so, i need a support or guidance to change the tag hierarchy or delimitator of Tag name in Kepware.Ex: channel1.device1.voltage  -----------> channel1_device1_voltage Background requirement: I need to read the tag values in IOT platform through MQTT gateway with Advance Template but unfortunately IOT Platform not accepting "dot" in payload variables. So, is anyone can guide / provide the possible solution to the same. thanks for your sincere response.

Hello! I'm fairly new to this area and have been tasked to setup a new server for a client. The old server is running kepserverEX using OPC DA and my job is to configure the new server and run OPC UA. I'm trying to test this out locally with a plc on my network with a few tags on it. The system in production has a ton of tags and ideally i'd like to see these tags imported in kep. I just cant seem to get it to work though. I was hoping to set up a channel with a OPC UA driver and add a device. But after that i just cant seem to figure out the next logical step. If I try select imported items in the setup I get a message saying I can't connect to localhost:49320. If I try tag generation i get the message "Unable to generate a tag database for device x: driver not started."I've tried to check for similarities in the setup on the old server, but it's running version 5 of kepserver and the configuration doesn't match all that well to what im looking at on version 6. I've gone thr
